Immonium salts and derivatives thereof

Abstract

There are provided: novel aryloxy immonium salts, prepared by the reaction of their corresponding haloformates with amides; and phenolic compositions corresponding to the aryloxy immonium salts. These novel aryloxy immonium salts and their corresponding phenolic compositions have utility as chemical intermediates, antioxidants, stabilizers and antibacterials.

We claim

The compound of the formula ##STR31## wherein A, B and E are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 30 carbon atoms, and α-haloalkyl of 1 to 30 carbon atoms, wherein said halo is independently selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine and fluorine. 
     
     
       2. The compound according to claim 1 wherein A, B and E are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms and α-haloalkyl of 1-6 carbon atoms. 
     
     
       3. The compound according to claim 1 of the formula ##STR32## 
     
     
       4. The compound according to claim 1 of the formula ##STR33## 
     
     
       5. The compound according to claim 1 of the formula ##STR34## 
     
     
       6. The compound according to claim 1 of the formula ##STR35## 
     
     
       7. The compound according to claim 1 of the formula ##STR36## 
     
     
       8. The compound of the formula ##STR37## 
     
     
       9. The compound of the formula ##STR38## 
     
     
       10. A process for preparing a compound of the formula ##STR39## which comprises reacting dimethyl formamide with a compound of the formula ##STR40## wherein A, B and E are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 30 carbon atoms, and α-haloalkyl of 1 to 30 carbon atoms, wherein said halo is independently selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine, and fluorine. 
     
     
       11. A process according to claim 10 which comprises reacting dimethyl formamide with a compound of the formula ##STR41## wherein A, E, and B are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms and α-haloalkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms. 
     
     
       12. An antibacterial composition comprising ##STR42## wherein A, E, and B are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 30 carbon atoms and α-haloalkyl of 1 to 30 carbon atoms, wherein said halo is selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine and fluorine. 
     
     
       13. An antibacterial composition according to claim 12 wherein A, E, and B are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms and α-haloalkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms.
